Tonight! Tonight in Music: LAKE, Wire, Holcombe Waller playing The Juliet Letters, and more

Posted by Colleen Smyth on Tue, Apr 12, 2011 at 3:19 PM


AGESANDAGES, LAKE, THE GOLDEN HOURS

(The Woods, 6637 SE Milwaukie) Read our article on LAKE.


WIRE

(Dante's, 1 SW 3rd) The original art punks, UK's legendary Wire, have a string of vital recordings stretching from 1977's indispensable Pink Flag to this year's sharply intelligent Red Barked Tree. Seeing the massively influential band in the flesh is not to be missed. NED LANNAMANN


THE JULIET LETTERS: FEAR NO MUSIC, HOLCOMBE WALLER, LEAH YORKSTON, STEPHEN BEAUDOIN, ANGELA NIEDERLOH

(Aladdin Theater, 3017 SE Milwaukie) Accomplished local performers Holcombe Waller, Leah Yorkston, Stephen Marc Beaudoin, and Angela Niederloh team up with Fear No Music to take a crack at Elvis Costello's The Juliet Letters, a song cycle based on imaginary letters written to Shakespeare's Juliet that incorporates classical and folk music, musical theater, peace, love, and understanding. ALISON HALLETT


CULTS, MAGIC KIDS, WHITE ARROWS

(Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi) New York's Cults create heat-hazy, sucrose-heavy pop that exudes youthful innocence and earnestness. Cute female/male vocals, neck-hair-raising glockenspiel embellishments, euphoric keyboard swells, and immediately catchy melodies put Cults on the same fast track for medium-sized stardom down which Best Coast are zooming. They are going to be intensely loved by many people in their late teens and early 20s. And then they won't anymore... sooner rather than later. DAVE SEGAL

I can't believe I'm probably going to miss this show. Do you think they'll tour again?!?
